SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Haemopressin 1 mg powder and solvent for solution for injection 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each vial of powder contains: 1 mg terlipressin acetate equivalent to 0.85 mg terlipressin. 1 ml of reconstituted solution contains 0.2 mg terlipressin acetate. For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Powder and solvent for solution for injection White to off white solid powder and a clear colourless solution. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Treatment of bleeding oesophageal varices 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Adults Initially 1 -2 mg terlipressin acetate (equivalent to 1-2 vials of Haemopressin) are administered. Depending on the patient's body weight the dose can be adjusted as follows: - Weight less than 50 kg: 1 mg. - Weight 50 kg to 70 kg: 1.5 mg. - Weight exceeding 70 kg: 2 mg. After the initial injection, the dose can be reduced to 1 mg every 4 to 6 hours. The approximate value for the maximum daily dose of Haemopressin is 120 µg/kg body weight. The therapy is to be limited to 2 – 3 days in adaptation to the course of the disease. Haemopressin is dissolved with the accompanying solvent and is applied intravenously. The intravenous injection should be given during the period of one minute. For further dilution see section 6.6. Elderly Haemopressin should only be used with caution in patients over 70 years (see section 4.4). The administration of terlipressin serves the emergency care for acute bleeding oesophageal varices until endoscopic therapy is available. Afterwards the administration of terlipressin for the treatment of oesophageal varices is usually an adjuvant therapy to the endoscopic haemostasis. IRISH MEDICINES BOAR Đọc toàn bộ tài liệu
